George Emlyn Williams (November 26, 1905 -
September 25, 1987) was a Wales|Welsh dramatist
and actor.  He was born into a working-class
family of North Wales, but won a scholarship to
Christ Church College, Oxford.  In 1927, he joined
a repertory company and began his stage career. 
By 1930, he had branched out into writing, and his
first major success was with the thriller, Night
Must Fall (1935), which was later made into a
film.  His other great play was very different:
The Corn is Green (1938).  He often appeared in
his own plays, and was famous for his
one-man-show, with which he toured the world,
playing Charles Dickens in an evening of readings
from Dickens' novels.  His autobiography, in the
volumes George (1961) and Emlyn (1973), was also
highly successful.

He died at 81 in Britain of complications from
cancer.
